Mares prefer privacy at foaling time. If possible, mares will delay birth until human observers are not around. Mares generally foal at night. One study, for example, indicated that approximately 80 percent of foals were born between midnight and 6 a.m.
The estrous cycle in most mares starts to normalize in late April or early May until August-the normal breeding season for horses. During this time, the mare will have an estrous cycle of 21 days (Â±3 days). The estrous cycle is composed of two phases: the estrous phase (in heat) and the diestrous phase (out of heat).Estrus usually lasts for 6 days, but can be 4-10 days, depending on the mare.Diestrus is normally 15 days, but may vary from 12-18 days.he estrous cycle is composed of two phases: the estrous phase (in heat) and the diestrous phase (out of heat).
